In the construction illustrated in Fig. 5

the core tube 1 is slotted and the casing'Q' surrounding the tube ispressed through-the slot into the interior of the tube in such a manner,that the free'edges 2 of the casing project hooltwise from the innerwall of the core tube. The rear of the guide slot is formed by aninserted diametrically placed partition 3, which on the one hand adheresto the bent'in edges 2 of the casing 2, and on the other hand withtheprojections 3 against the inner wall of the core tube 1, so that anydisplacement of the partition- 3 inthe transverse direction of the coretube is prevented.

lVhile I have herein shown'and described specific forms of myinvention-I do'not wish to be limited thereto except for suchlimitations as the claims may impart.

I claim:

1. A, show frame structure comprising in combination, a tubular standardhaving a longitudinally disposed slot-like opening therein, a rackdisposed in said tubular standard and engaging interior portions of thelatter, a casing surrounding said standard and having marginal portionsextending through said slot-like opening in said standard and engagingsaid rack to hold the same in place, and a bracket having a toothedportion adapted to engage said rack and other portions adapted to engagethe 40 exterior of said standard, substantially as described.

2. A show frame structure comprising in combination, a tubular standardhaving a longitudinally disposed slot lhQFOlIL, arack disposed in saidtubular standard andhaving flanges bent rearwardly into engagement withthe interior'ot' said standard, a casing surrounding said standard andhaving mar- 'inal )ortions' extendin throughto the slot t3 2: in
